ACAD - Young Writers Workshop

The Young Writers Workshop is a five-day creative writing retreat in which high school students practice the craft of writing in a supportive, communal setting. Students will generate new work; receive constructive feedback from their peers, undergraduate mentors, and faculty; and begin building their own community of writers.

The daily schedule will include directed writing sessions, visits from guest readers, and creative workshops in which students will discuss their peers’ writing. Evenings will involve social activities and free writing time. On the last day, the Young Writers will participate in a public reading of their work, which family and friends are encouraged to attend.

Dan J. Vice, the Director of the YWW, holds an MFA from Eastern Washington University, and is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Indianapolis.
